Whorecast: Aeryn talks Game of Thrones & sex work

We of course talked about Game of Thrones. The Whorecast team has it’s own Game of Thrones themed podcast called Winter is Coming: On Your Face, which yuo shoudl check out. Bless all the puns & jokes. We talked about how I got booked / cast in the show, how HBO treated me through out the process and on set at Crasters Keep. We talked about what its like to be the nude person on a ‘straight’ set, and navigating consent in an intimate faux sex scene in a mainstream non porn setting. From sex worker rights & advocacy, my history, being treated (or not)like a ‘real’ actress to politics, sex work law & a whole lot more.

I’ve always been thrilled that HBO casts sex worker actors for nude & sex roles instead of heckling mainstream actresses to do them. We are suitable, and often the roles are about us! HBO is very pro sex work when it comes to hiring actual sex workers for sex work roles. It’s about us we damned well should be invited to act those parts! Siouxsie, Sam and I talk about mainstream actresses being defensive when it comes to sex workers being part of mainstream media, and how they have to fight to not be “that” type of actress / woman. It protects them, and while it’s whore phobic & slut shaming I don’t blame mainstream actresses. It’s a shame we as a society force people to pick sides of a fence and scale them on the whorearchy when there there shouldn’t be a fench, sides, or a hierarchy based on women’s sexual business!

Sex workers belong on mainstream screen to which they are suited, especially in acting roles about them or involving their specialties, talents, & comfortable spaces!

I have a nice monologue about my hatred of people talking on my behalf and belittling my agency when it comes to sex work & mainstream performance. People acting like I was forced to be on the show, that I was abused by HBO because the role I chose to take part in was violent and sexual, that sort of thing. I also rail against the fact people don’t consider sex workers to be able to be real actresses, or have agency because honestly in their eyes we are nothing but whores.

We talk about my sex work. Starting sex work under age, wanting to be in porn. Bad brothel clients. Sex work trajectories and the open ability sex work can give. Sex work burn out and self care. Changes in Victoria and discussions of local sex work law. The absurdity of current Australian & US politics. We discuss my entry into sex work advocacy starting with my political feminist art works, and why I won’t ever be part of mainstream politics (I enjoy privacy & respect my loved ones privacy!). We talked about my whorientation (whore orientation, cute ho vocab is cute!!) The jury is still out on my sex work whorientation /specialization, but I’m going to talk to Siouxsie more abut it in the future I think. I love her Ho-cabulary, and all her sex work puns.

It’s a good episode, full of light & heavy hearted laughs. I’m so glad I finally got to chat to Siouxsie & Sam at Whorecast! 🙂
